A PROFITABLE PRODUCT.

An instance Of very successful olive
culture in California is given in to-day's
paper. 1t should stimulate enterpris-
ing people here to take up the olive
on large scale. There is money in
it to no end Why should not every
mountain slope in the Kingdom, con-
tanning sufficient depth of earth, have
its olive groves1 This ought to be a
very suitable fruit to be cultivated by
the industrious Portuguese. The editor
of o Las0 HaaOaIaaO might, per
haps, put the matter effectively before
that people, If il is the difficulty OF
procuring land for the purpose which
stands in the way Of development Of
national resources, in respect to this
and other profitable productions fol
which the country is eminently adapted,
then the political hacks who obstruci
land settlement should be hustled out
of the way on the earliest opportunity.

Major Bendel has not parted with his

the contrary are believed to be only
carrying out bluff game, in order to
gain information in the interest of the

ence recently at Cleveland. One hun
dred delegates were present. During
the past nine years, this body increased
from 1893 to 1896 members. The
memberships recruited from the Uni.

be the result Of local accretion or ex-

interests of the town, including not only
its trades and manufactures, but the farm

was made chairman of the meeting and
Mr. Geo. c. Averill clerk. Mr.. Cruwell
said, briefly, that the thought whether
we might not have some organization for
work such ms is done by board of trade in
large cities had been suggested by seeing
the announcement that large concern in
Albany, n. V, seeking better facilities for
its business, had been induced by local eff

some sort of associated effort to look out
for Brattleboro interests in various ways
and which would carry more weight than
the acts of individuals ON their own re
sponsibility Mr. Harris thought it impor-
tant tn have some organization through
which our citizens might work, and other
gentlemen held the same views. Rutland,
it appeared had recently effected such AN
organization and various Massachusetts
towns had worked in this way with greater
or less success. 4 motion made by Mr..
Crowell that it was desirable to have some
such organization in Brattleboro was finally
put to vote and carried unanimously. The
chairman was asked to name a committee
tu take the initiatOry steps in such move
ment with instructions to report at an adj
lourned meeting. q. F. Crowell, n. |.

such committee and the time and place of

it in its power to make Brattleboro better
centre for the sale of farmers produce, to
induce new manufacturing enterprises to
